“Our team generally did a great job in today's match. The biggest plus is that we got two sets against Italy even though the team is not on the best condition. During the final set, the service of Italy was strong and it made Korea lose final set.”

Korea captain Kwon Young-Min

“The service and blocking of Italy were strong like yesterday. After the second set, we thought we might lose today's match 3-0, but in the third and fourth sets our players were very strong with high concentration and strong organizational power. I am very glad we gained an additional point even though we lost our match today."

"Today's match was hard to compare with yesterday's. Nevertheless, I am so glad for today's victory. I always thought the victory in the away matches were important for us. Therefore, today's victory was very important for the Italy team."

Italy coach Berruto Mauro

"First of all, I am so to get two wins against the Korean team. I would like to express gratitude to all of my players for keeping our pride. Lastly, we are concerned about the shoulder injury of Italy captain Cristian Savani, so, we have to consider that for our next game."
